Uepi Island Resort

One of the truly unique places on earth, the remote Uepi Island Resort is set on a palm-fringed white sandy beach overlooking the world`s largest lagoon and the magnificent New Georgia mountains. Uepi is a barrier reef island approximately 2½ kilometers long and only 600 meters wide. The island, aside from the resort`s cultivated tropical gardens, is covered with tropical rainforest interspersed with walking tracks.

There are no other resorts or local villages on the island. This is the perfect getaway, a tranquil tropical paradise where you can fill your days with fun activities or just relax and unwind.

Uepi offers a wide selection of bungalows including 2 basic guest rooms, 2 private units that share a common wall, 4 garden bungalows set approximately 40 meters from the water’s edge and 4 fully renovated beachfront bungalows, 2 which are great for couples and 2 designed for families. All accommodations are screened, have fans in the bedrooms, and have private bathrooms with ambient temperature showers and toilet facilities.

Uepi offers the unique opportunity to dive first-class sites that are only minutes away from the dive shop; conveniently located either off the edge of the island or just a short boat trip away. Rarely will you view such diverse concentrations of marine-life in such a varied environment, ranging from lagoon coral gardens to vertical drop-offs into 2000 metres of ocean (The Slot), mostly within the confines of a 2 mile stretch of reef.  Because of the location of Uepi Island, waters may be very clear with visibility in excess of 30m or visibility may be less. Tidal current interchanging to & from the Marovo Lagoon and The Slot makes the deep water passage immediately adjacent to the resort a prime habitat for a colourful population of filter feeders such as corals & sponges as well as for reef-fish, sedentary animals and pelagics.

Hike the island and picnic on the beautiful secluded beaches. The Uepi Island Resort also offers sport fishing and cultural tours to surrounding islands. Kayak Solomons has a variety of exciting itineraries to choose from. The resort meals are based around fresh local seafood, fruits and vegetables, prepared by talented local chefs. No wonder this is a favorite honeymoon destination!
